Oh yes! With something very hardy like Tamiya or Mr Surfacer.

This one will be built “wheels up”. With that being said, I will be looking for a 4 blade prop blur set. She will be hung n a dive with bomb doors open and displacement gears extended. It’s just the matter of finding the perfect spot to display/hang it.

I have a couple ideas. One being hanging from my ceiling by my bench. The other, possibly enclose it in a clear display box and using a strong clear styrene rod inserted into the rear portion of the fuselage. I would hang the the display case on any wall.
Put it over the bench. I'm being watched constantly by a Reaper.

Tom, were you planning on displaying the dive brakes open? If so, you have to some surgery and the inner portion of the kit dive flaps as they also opened up.
